Callionymiformes
Order of fishes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Callionymiformes /kæliˈɒnɪmɪfɔːrmiːz/ is an order of bony fish containing two families, the dragonets Callionymidae and the Draconettidae. In some taxonomies these families make up the suborder Callionymoidei of the wider grouping known as Perciformes,[1] Nelson (2016) recognised the order[2] but subsequent workers have suggested that if Callionymiformes is recognised as an order then the order Syngnathiformes is rendered paraphyletic and include Callionmyoidei within that taxon.[3]
